THE PROPERTY - DIRECT ACCESS TO THE WOODS and THE GROUNDS OF THE DEVELOPMENT

Located in easy reach of Forest Hill and East Dulwich stations as well as being opposite the Hornimans Museums and Gardens with direct access to Sydenham Hill Woods, this is a property that offers more than many others locally.

The building is characterful having been built in the 50s, it oozes the charm and charisma of a 1950’s apartment building / apart hotel.

There are several features of this apartment which include:

The communal gardens lead to the highly acclaimed Sydenham Hill Woods. Made up of approximately 11 hectares, Sydenham Hill Wood forms part of the largest remaining tract of the old Great North Wood. The wood is home to more than 200 species of trees and plants as well as rare fungi, insects, birds and woodland mammals.

The Woods are a unique mix of new and ancient woodland, with remnants of Victorian gardens and is London Wildlife Trust’s oldest nature reserve.

In the 1980s, Sydenham Hill Wood was saved from development threats, a testament to the determination of local people to safeguard nature. It became London Wildlife Trust’s first nature reserve in 1982 and Cox’s Walk came under the Trusts management in 1998.

This lovely walk is perfect for couples, family walks (including the dog!) and hikers with a great pub at the end for a Sunday roast or a summery pint in their amazing beer garden!
